Widespread violence mars Egypt elections

Widespread violence marred the second round of Egypt's parliamentary vote Sunday as opposition supporters and police clashed with knives, metal chains and Molotov cocktails, officials said. At least one person was killed and scores were wounded.

The violence was in sharp contrast to the Nov. 9 first round of voting, which passed in relative peace and saw the banned opposition Muslim Brotherhood party double its representation in parliament.

There are 1,706 candidates competing in 72 constituencies in this round of elections.

Late Sunday, the Brotherhood said its count showed most of its 60 candidates had either won seats or gained sufficient votes to participate in run-off balloting Saturday. Interior Ministry officials said a partial tally showed at least six Brotherhood candidates had won outright. The top two vote getters in constituencies where no candidate wins an outright majority move to the run-off.

No figures were available for candidates of the ruling National Democratic Party or non-Islamic opposition contestants.

Police and Brotherhood supporters exchanged accusations over who started the melees, which also involved supporters of President Hosni Mubarak's ruling National Democratic Party.
